Zambia’s 2015 Africa Cup qualifying hopes continue to look very dim after drawing 0-0 away to Niger.
The result was a slight improvement for Zambia on the road after losing 2-1 away to Cape Verde on October 10.
However, the writing is now very clear on the wall: Zambia’s attack is aging and nearing its sell-by date.
Nkana striker Ronald Kampamba who had travelled with the team didn’t even make the 18 players selected for the game by Janza but Zanaco winger Charles Zulu made a surprise debut before making way for Emmanuel Mayuka in the 67th minute.
Despite the changes made by Janza’s to bench captain Christopher Katongo, James Chamanga who started the game failed to kill Niger before making way for Jacob Mulenga in the 83rd minute who did not also spark in his seven minutes of fame in Niamey.
Chamanga had two chances the first in the 10th minute when he missed Rainford Kalaba cross but four minutes later he sent Chisamba Lungu’s cross narrowly wide on the near post.
Zambia’s best chance came in the 53rd minute when Given Singuluma sneaked behind Niger’s defence but shockingly watched as the post conspired to deflect the ball back into play.
Goalkeeper Kennedy Mweene then reacted quickly in the 56th minute to clear a very poor back-pass from Christopher Munthali.
Meanwhile, third placed Zambia must now beat bottom placed Niger on Wednesday in Ndola with both sides tied on two points.
Another draw will not be enough on October 15 because Zambia are now three points behind second placed Mozambique who beat Cape Verde 2-0 in Maputo today.
Kito and Fiate’s goals in the 45th and 66th minutes were enough to give Mozambique their first win in Group F and hand Cape Verde their first loss in the qualifiers.
Mozambique are now the only unbeaten side in Group F on five points, one behind Cape Verde whom they visit on Wednesday in Praia.
A police officer been arrested in Chambishi for using someone else to write his examination.
Musole Musole, 43, of Kitwe, paid George Chilundika of house number E 127 Wuzakile to write examinations on his behalf.
Police sources in Kitwe confirmed the development to ZANIS in Kalulushi in a telephone interview today.
The sources said the incident happened on Thursday morning when Chilundika was in an examination class at Chambishi Secondary School writing Mathematics Paper two.
The impeccable sources said Musole managed to obtain a new National Registration Card (NRC) with all particulars bearing his name, but the picture which was on the NRC was for Chilundika.
The sources said Chilundika was caught in an examination class by some people who knew him as to be a very intelligent boy and that he did very well at Grade 12 two years ago and so there was no need for him to rewrite.
Musole is currently detained at Chambishi Police Station.
File:Alliance for Better Zambia president Father Frank Bwalya blows a whistle against the government’s refusal to release the Zambian draft constitution
The opposition Alliance for a Better Zambia (ABZ) has observed that there is nothing drastic in the 2015 National Budget to address the urgent need for Zambia to come up with a tax mechanism to ensure a win-win situation between Zambia and foreign mining companies.
And the opposition has charged that a lot of Zambians are disappointed that the PF government has failed to give its workers, public service workers such as nurses, teachers among others a jubilee gift by lifting the wage freeze.
Analyzing the 2015 National Budget, ABZ Leader Father Frank Bwalya has told QFM News that Zambia will continue to be exploited given the reality that the contribution of mines to our national revenue will continue to be scandalously low.
Father Bwalya says government will continue to lack much needed capital to channel into diversification programmes in sectors such as agriculture which has more potential to create sustainable jobs and reduce poverty especially among the poor people living in rural areas.
He says he is a disappointed man that despite the public interest and anxiety the controversy of VAT refunds to exporters, including mines, has generated the Minister of Finance did not announce a concrete solution to the problem.
He adds that government through the Finance Minister should have given an exhaustive position on how to resolve the problem of VAT refunds.
Father Bwalya says this is a matter of urgency given the fact that the standoff may cause job losses especially in the mining sector.
He says most of the progressive policy pronouncements by Mr. Chikwanda including the need to reduce external borrowing to save future generations the debt burden may only be realized by a strong leadership driven by common good.
Confusion in the United National Independence Party (UNIP) has continued with some cadres storming the UNIP Secretariat along Shake Shake Road in Lusaka demanding for the removal of party President Tilyenji Kaunda.
Yesterday UNIP Central Committee announced the expulsion of Beatrice Kayuni as party Women Chairperson and endorsed that Mr. Kaunda stands on the UNIP ticket for the 2016 General Elections.
Later yesterday, UNIP Lusaka Provincial Trustee Stanley Chinhio argued that the former ruling party has no Central Committee stating that the term of the central committee ended in 2005.
UNIP Lusaka Province Information and Publicity Secretary Charles Mwelwa has told QFM News in a telephone interview that some youths stormed the party secretariat demanding for the removal of Mr. Kaunda and his Vice Njekwa Anamela.
Mr. Mwelwa has accused Ms Kayuni of sending the cadres to the unip secretariat to paralyze the operations of the party.
And when contacted for a comment, Ms Kayuni denied sending any group of youths to storm the party secretariat, saying she has no time for such confusions.
ms kayuni maintains that she has not recognized the expulsion announced yesterday by what she has termed as a group of crooks.
The Kaputa subordinate court has issued an arrest warrant to Patriotic Front (PF) Kaputa District Political Secretary for failing to appear in court over the offence of conduct
likely to cause the breach of peace.
Boyd Chomba, who has been jointly charged with another PF cadre for conduct likely to cause the breach of peace, is on bail and was expected to appear in court yesterday for commencement of trial.
Magistrate Victor Mukupa, who issued the bench warrant for the arrest of Chomba and his sureties, observed that this was now the second time in a row the accused has failed to show up without valid reasons from him or his sureties.
Magistrate Mukupa said accused did not show up last month for mention and again yesterday and neither of his sureties have come to explain.
He has since issued the bench warrant to Chomba and his sureties, saying they should be arrested and brought before the court for trial.
This is a case in which Chomba has been jointly charged with Adam Munkoyo, another PF cadre, for conduct likely to cause the breach of peace.
Earlier, Munkoyo, who appeared before the court, said his co-accused could not make it because he was reportedly stuck on the Mporokoso-Kaputa road after his vehicle broke down.
He said Chomba had gone to Kasama for party duties and was expected to be in Kaputa before the court case but communicated to him that his vehicle was stuck and could not make it.
Meanwhile, Magistrate Mukupa has refused Munkoyo from withdrawing a case in which he sued five Untied Party for National Development (UPND) cadres for assaulting him.
Magistrate Mukupa said he did not agree to the idea that Munkoyo wants to withdraw the case on the precept that he has forgiven them after assaulting him.
He explained that the fact that the five accused denied the charge, withdrawing the case on the assumption that he has forgiven them for means they are guilty, a thing the accused denied.
The magistrate added that although the court encourages reconciliation, the grounds in which Munkoyo wanted the case to be withdrawn would not only be prejudicial but also contemptuous as he was asserting that the accused are guilty of the charge.
Magistrate Mukupa stated that there are, however, better grounds in which Munkoyo could have presented the case.
He has since adjourned both the case in which the two PF cadres are charged with conduct likely to cause the peace and the case in which the five UPND cadres have been charged with assault to 31st October for commencement of trial.
The Non Governmental Organisations’ Coordinating Council (NGOCC)has welcomed the National Budget presentation for 2015 by the Minister of Finance under the theme ‘Celebrating our Golden Jubilee as One Zambia One Nation by making Economic Independence a reality for all’. This is a progressive theme which ideally should put in place pro-poor policies and programmes aimed at improving the quality of life for all Zambians, of whom 60 percent are poor.
Economic independence means a situation where women and men, girls and boys have access to the full range of economic opportunities and resources, including employment, and sufficient disposable income, so they can shape their lives and their futures, and meet their own needs and the needs of their dependents.
However, NGOCC observes that the provisions in the 2015 National Budget do not reflect the implication of the theme. The 2015 National budget is gender blind in that it does not adequately focus on programmes that address gender inequalities and assure economic independence especially with regard to women and children. There is need for government to holistically address the whole continuum of access to land, financial capital, long term job creation in the productive sectors as well as existence of an enabling environment for the promotion of entrepreneurial skills among Zambia’s young population (90% citizens are below 45 years old).
NGOCC was expecting the government to zero rate Value Added Tax (VAT) in the 2015 national budget on essential food items including maize meal, sugar, milk, cooking oil, bread, beef, salt and baby formulae to mention but just a few. Further, we expected the government to increase the Income Tax free threshold from the current K3, 000 to K4, 000 to enable most of the working poor meet their basic needs. We observe that both taxes have remained the same implying that the disposable income of the working poor will be reduced even further taking into consideration inflation.
NGOCC is saddened that in the 2015 budget, the government has still failed to introduce the Windfall Tax on the mines in order to broaden the tax base. We contend that the current mine tax obligations are below the expected contributions to the economy for substantial economic growth and therefore question the government on how it will raise resources for job creation if it does not take advantage of the available opportunity of increasing revenue from the mining sector.
The 2015 national budget has allocated only K29.26 million (reduced from the K44 million allocated in the 2014 budget, which still remains unexplained on its application) to the constitution making process with the assertion that it will cater for consensus building albeit unclear on its intended outcome. We are of the view that the amount allocated to this important undertaking is not enough for a National Referendum as a way to adopt a people driven constitution and foster unity in the process. There is need for magnanimity on the part of government to facilitate well-meaning consensus building with regard to the constitution making process by immediately releasing the final draft constitution and accord citizens an opportunity to engage positively with the document and process. NGOCC still contends that a people driven constitution will provide a legal framework that will be used for achieving an all inclusive growth and equal opportunities for all. The inadequate allocation shows the lack of political will on the part of government to give the Zambian people a constitution that will stand the test of time.
On the other hand, NGOCC welcomes the 20.2 percent allocation to the education sector, which will among others cater for the recruitment of 5,000 teachers. The continuation of the School Feeding Programme which enables a number of children from poor and vulnerable families to stay in school, is a good move. Further, the increase in the allocation to bursaries is also a welcome move. However, there is need to ensure that affirmative action is put in place to ensure that more poor rural students, especially girls access the scheme.
While we commend the government on the infrastructure development in tertiary education and recruitment of new teachers to reduce the current high teacher to pupil ratio,we note that the retention and progression rate of girls have not been addressed. This is despite government’s public pronouncement on its commitment to fight the scourge of child marriages and teen pregnancies which has resulted from challenges such as inadequate accommodation facilities for girls in schools. The budget is silent on how much resources have been allocated to building of more boarding facilities for girls in schools, especially in rural areas, to mitigate the high numbers of these child marriages and teen pregnancies.
We also wish to acknowledge the bold pronouncement on improving the agriculture sector with regard to extension services, Fertilizer Input Support Programme (FISP), the Food Security Packs, irrigation services as well as livestock services. It is NGOCC’s considered view that if well restructured and targeted to the unique needs of women and men, the said measures would contribute to reversing the high poverty scenario in the country, which the Minister alluded to in his budget presentation. Most important here is the need to review the processes and procedures of access especially in getting the said support to the intended beneficiaries, who are mostly the small scale farmers comprising mainly women.
The 2015 National Budget allocation to the Health sector of 9.6 percent falls short of the Abuja declaration of 15 percent total budget allocation to the sector. In addition, we are concerned that the dwindling allocations to the sector will not address the prevailing high maternal and child mortality ratestherefore not realizing Millennium Development Goal (MDG) target of 162 deaths per 100,000 live births. However, while we commend government for the move to upgrade the existing hospitals, University Teaching Hospital, Livingstone, Kitwe and Ndola general hospitals, it is our expectation that the specialized equipment in these hospitals should address the maternal and infant health problems including PMTCT, cervical and breast cancer, as well as under five services.
All in all, even with the inadequacies of gender responsiveness in many aspects of our national budget approach, NGOCC is hopeful that with collective reflection and refocusing of our mindsets in this Jubilee year, the 2015 National Budget would be used as a stepping stone to real equity and equality when it comes to implementation. We need to move from rhetoric to action if economic independence is to be actualized to its full provisions.
The Opposition All People’s Congress party (APC) says the 2015 budget is far from being a pro-poor budget as it puts a lot of people in misery.
APC President Nason Msoni observes that with the prices of most of the goods and service expected to go up it is unreasonable for government to maintain the wage freeze for public service workers as people will be paying more from the same salary.
Mr. Msoni also noted that the continued wage freeze by the government is likely to promote lawlessness on the labour market as governments sets standards on the labour market hence the move by government to maintain the wage freeze may have a spill over effect on the other employers on the market.
“We think this is the worst budget that this country has ever had in a long time because 1; it has continued to maintain and impose the wage freeze on one sector or one group of workers in the country who are the civil servants which we find most unfortunate and also by this action or this token it is inducing lawlessness on the labour market.
“Government is a torch bearer, it sets standards so by setting that standard of imposing a wage freeze invariably other employers on the labour will follow suit with what government is doing and we think its unfortunate because we think there is no justification to maintain a wage freeze on one group of workers because everything is bound to spiral out of control in the next 2Months because the prices of all the things are bound to go up,” Mr. Msoni.
He added: ” transport is certainly going up after the doubling of presumptive tax so we think that this budget will cause more misery first and foremost to public service workers and secondly to Zambians in general as we expect all prices to go up.”
And Mr. Msoni has noted that the country’s external debt is likely to increase to over 7billion with government’s trend of borrowing continues at the same rate has been borrowing since take over office.
“We think that this government by the end of its expulsion whether in 2016 or so it would have contracted a debt stock of over 7 billion at this rate and the reckless borrowing. Also our view is that if the 2 percent is just for domestic borrowing we think that government is not being sincere and also we think that if the 2 percent extends to foreign then perhaps that makes a bit of sense but obviously that is not the case,” Mr. Msoni.
Mr Msoni also expressed concern with the continued absence of the President from the public eye.
“We fear for the worst with the Chief Executive Officer in a semi comatose state with lack of control over the running of the State we expect that the likely wood of an over run can not be ruled out like it has been the case with the previous budgets so our view as APC is that this budget is far from being a pro poor budget as it leaves a lot of people in misery,” Mr. Msoni said.
A woman, accidentally caught in a dark deal, turns the tables on her captors and transforms into a merciless warrior evolved beyond human logic.
PROS
Great performances by Scarlet Johansson and Morgan Freeman .
Intriguing story line that gets you thinking .
CONS
The movie gets a bit confusing towards the end .
The characters were not properly developed .
FAVORITE QUOTES
Lucy: Life was given to us a billion years ago, and now you know what to do with it.
Professor Norman: We humans are more concerned with having than with being.
CONCLUSION
Upon watching the trailer for ‘Lucy’ i was interested to watch it ,as it reminded me of another movie , ‘Limitless” that i thought had a similar theme . Lucy is a very interesting ,thought provoking movie . It makes you think what the human mind is really capable of if used to its full potential .
It is action packed, unpredictable , a very exciting movie, although towards the end it gets a bit weird and confusing, but that is all part of the fun .
“Lucy” is one of those great “what if” films you occasionally stumble across that has you thinking long after it’s ended.
Zambia striker Bornwell mwape has won the Amazulu’s player of the month award for September.
The 23-year-old striker told the clubs official website that he was delighted to have won his first club accolade just three months after joining the South Africa PSL side.
Mwape scored his first two of three goals for the bottom placed PSL side last month.
His third came early this month on October 4 in a 3-2 Cup win over Bloemfontein Celtic.
“I can’t say much, except that I’m happy for the award the team has given me after a slow start,” Mwape told Amazulu’s official website.
“From now I’m going to be working harder to repay the faith shown on me.”
The ex-Nchanga Rangers striker has yet to get a call up from Honour Janza since the latter’s appointment in August.
Finance Minister Alexander Chikwanda delivering the 2015 budget
THE Government will reduce its shareholding in the Zambia Consolidated Copper Mines-Investment Holding (ZCCM-IH) from 87 per cent to 60 per cent, Finance Minister Alexander Chikwanda has said.
Mr Chikwanda said the move was in conformity with the Lusaka Stock Exchange (LuSE) listing requirements which stipulated that no single shareholder should control more than 75 per cent of the equity in any company.
Mr Chikwanda said during the presentation of the 2015 National Budget to Parliament in Lusaka yesterday that the 27 per cent shares would be offloaded to Zambian citizens as a way of entrenching economic independence.
He said the LuSE regulations were aimed at ensuring that more citizens participated in the capital markets.
“I am, therefore, directing the Securities and Exchange Commission to ensure that all listed companies comply with the listing requirement.
“To comply with the listing requirements, Government will itself reduce its shareholding in ZCCM-IH Plc to 60 per cent from 87 per cent. The 27 per cent shares will be sold to Zambian citizens …,” Mr Chikwanda said.
He said this year, trading activity on the LuSE increased, reflecting improved investor sentiment and participation on the local bourse and that market capitalisation increased by eight per cent to K62.9 billion while the All-Share Index rose by 17 per cent to 6,620.9 by the end of last month.
Mr Chikwanda said the overall condition and performance of the financial sector was satisfactory and that aggregate capital adequacy and earnings’ performance improved.
The minister said to strengthen governance and operational efficiency of State-owned enterprises (SOEs), the Government had incorporated the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC).
The IDC, which would be the holding company of all SOEs, would act as the main driver for investment in strategic sectors, where the private sector was not able to venture.
He expressed concern over the low levels of efficiency, high level of liability and poor financial management in some grant-aided institutions.
“In order to address these concerns, Government has commenced a review to assess their viability and sustainability. Institutions that will be found unsustainable will either be abolished or reverted to Central Government,” Mr Chikwanda said.
He said the Government would establish the Local Government Equalisation Fund (LGEF) to provide a stable, buoyant and predictable source of revenue from the Central Government, to supplement local government revenue.
The LGEF had been allocated K586.8 million from a resource envelope of K669.4 million for grants to local authorities.
Mr Chikwanda said this would enable councils deliver better municipal services and invest in local development projects.
He added that financing of the Fund would be based on a revenue sharing arrangement, where the Central Government would allocate a minimum of five per cent of total income taxes while allocations to individual councils would be formula-based to ensure equity and transparency.
“The release of grants to councils will be conditional on observance of good public financial management practices and delivery of essential municipal services,” Mr Chikwanda said.
NGOCC chairperson Beatrice Grillo talking during the meeting that was held to demand for the release of the draft Zambian constitution
The Grand Coalition on a People Driven Constitution says the K29 million allocated to the constitution process in the 2015 budget shows that the PF government has no intention of releasing the document to the public.
Speaking in an interview shortly after the 2015 budget presentation by Finance Minister Alexander Chikwanda Grand Coalition Vice Chairperson Beatrice Grillo said though they have not seen the breakdown of the 29 million the resources where meagre compared to the works that needs to be done on the process.
“Our immediate reaction to the 29 million allocated to the constitution making process is that it shows that the government is not serious with giving the people a People Driven Constitution because you can not say K29 million will give the people what they want as you know the last process was over 100 millon and government has been talking about releasing the constitution for people to debate so what is that 29 going to do,” Ms. Grillo said.
She added: ” the K29 million might not even be enough to print the document for the public to see what is contained in the draft document so we will issue a comprehensive statement after we see the yellow book but for now we feel the 29 million shows lack of interest in releasing the document on the part of government.”
Meanwhile, Ms. Grillo has challenged the PF government to tell the nation how much has been spent on the constitution making process since the process started after the PF went into office.
She noted that no one in government has explained how the money being allocated to the constitution making is being used though every year money is being allocated towards finalizing process.
“One of the things that the government has been saying is that there is no money but we haven’t been told where the 40million which was allocated for this year has gone.
“No one in government has explained to us where the money was used. Are they going to tell us that it went to this and this and that or is it part of what the technical committee used or what? There is no clear answer and I don’t think there is anybody in government who has come out to explain about this issue,” she said.
Finance Minister Alexander Chikwanda delivering the 2015 budget
Various stakeholder have reacted positively to Finance Minister Alexander Chikwanda’s 2015 National Budget proposing to spend K46.7 billion anchored on industrialisation, job and wealth creation for the coming year.
Jesuit Centre for Theological Reflection (JCTR) Director Leonard Chiti has said that the 2015 national budget is encouraging as it is exhibiting economic independence.
Fr. Chiti told the media yesterday soon after the budget speech presentation by Finance Minister Alexander Chikwanda at parliament that the budget is impressive as it has taken a different direction from the previous budgets presented by the government.
He said he was happy with the allocation in the education sector as this has the potential to provide financial independence in the masses.
Fr. Chiti said the growth of the education sector requires a lot of attention from government as many children travel long distances to their schools.
Fr. Chiti said many schools are not equipped with the right teaching materials which was detrimental to the education sector.
He however said he was disappointed with the allocation in the health sector because there are a lot of challenges that it is facing which JCTR had hoped the 2015 budget would address.
Fr. Chiti said the allocation to the constitution making process is demoralizing as the amount allocated is minimal to complete the process.
He said the K29.3 million was not enough and that this called for lobbying for funds from various stakeholders in the country.
Fr. Chiti said the low funding will result in the delay in the constitution making process which has already dragged-on for a long time.
And Former Finance Minister Ngandu Magande has described the 2015 national budget as a progressive budget centered on growth and social protection.
Mr Magande said the K46 billion budget unveiled by Finance Minister Alexander Chikwanda has touched expected key areas of the economy such as enhancing agriculture and economic activity in order to grow the country’s economy.
Mr Magande however, called for concerted efforts to implement programmes that will grow the economy to double digits.
He pointed out that there is need to reduce expenditure and concentration on construction and rehabilitation of roads infrastructure and instead channel funds to poverty reduction programmes.
And Academician Mbita Chitala hailed government’s intentions of creating a sovereign fund to provide capital to establishments to improve productivity especially that quasi government institutions have been declaring dividends to the government.
And financial institutions have commended government’s resolve to limit domestic borrowing to 2 per cent of gross domestic product as a good initiative to spur economic development.
National Savings and Credit Bank Managing Director Cephas Chabu said the move will free- up funds that will be lent to the private sector at reduced interest rates for economic productivity.
Mr Chabu said the budget will trigger growth through investments in agriculture, education and other key sectors of the economy arising from money made available from reduced domestic borrowing.
Economist Oliver Saasa described the 2015 national budget unveiled by Finance Minister Alexander Chikwanda today as being bold and touching on many areas of the economy.
Prof. Saasa told the media soon after the budget presentation speech at parliament that the support the crop marketing season is receiving in the 2015 budget was encouraging.
He said he was happy that the agriculture sector is receiving enough attention from government because it is a key sector of the economy.
Prof. Saasa said this should encourage the Food Reserve Agency (FRA) to reach out to the remotest parts of the country to ensure that they purchase enough maize from the farmers.
He said the increase in budgetary allocation will ensure that effective extension services will equip farmers with knowledge and skills to remain productive.
Prof. Saasa said it was good that 500 more extension officers will be recruited as this will better equip farmers on the technical know-how.
Meanwhile , commenting on the budget , Zambia Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) president Leonard Hikaumba said the labour movement was not happy with the continued wage freeze.
Mr. Hikaumba described the situation as illegal saying government as an employer cannot continue with the wage freeze in 2015.
He said it was sad to note that government has given a deaf ear to their plight even after making submissions to the Ministry of Finance.
However, UPND central UPND MP and party spokesperson, Cornelius Mweetwa said Government should have increased the budgetary sponsorship to the bursary scheme.
Mr Mweetwa said that at the moment there was too much pressure on the bursary scheme therefore the need for Government to increase that allocation.
“The money released towards the bursary scheme is just a drop in the ocean so we need to properly finance the bursary scheme. Actually we expected a double increase to the bursary scheme as compared to last year,” he said.
On mining He said Government should have introduced windfall tax as opposed to just putting mineral royalty tax to 8.1percent.
Nkana coach Beston Chambeshi says they will miss their three Zambia callups for Saturdays trip to Zesco United at Trade Fair Grounds in Ndola.
The defending champions are fourth six points behind third placed Zesco on 46 and 52 points respectively with four games left to play heading into Week 26 games.
Absent is striker Ronald Kampamba including defenders Donashano Malama and christopher Munthali who are on AFCON duty with Zambia in Niger.
“Yes we will miss them they are key, in every team you need players that can change the game but we have players who are more than capable,” Chambeshi said.
The onus will be on Festus Mbewe, Shadreck Musonda and Simon Bwalya to lead Nkana’s attack as they battle to keep their interest in the 2014 league title race.
Meanwhile, Nkana head to Zesco on a mission.
Zesco are one of six team to beat Nkana this season and the memories are even more painful because they lost 1-0 in Kitwe last July.
